Hey mike, curious what you’re asking for it?

Looking for an interior piece. the window switch bezel for the drivers side. happy to pay what you think is fair.

Want to buy: 80 series window control switch bezel. driver side. brown preferred. similar to this : https://www.ebay.com/itm/91-97-TOYOTA-LAND-CRUISER-FRONT-RIGHT-SIDE-MASTER-POWER-WINDOW-SWITCH-BEZEL-TRIM-/163482337997?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

I think you underestimate how much engineering work involves modifying a copy of someone else’s work. He seems to have already mastered the basics.

This is very cool. props to your son.

^ yeah, that will def make your brakes hard. that's your check valve, and the line that connects is the vaccuum line. without constant vaccum your booster has no way to generate any power to assist your braking. Replacement check valves are available. i would recommend replacing it before...

I was gonna suggest the same. Maybe you can switch with your aux battery and see if it looses charge over time.

Do they both drop out at the same time? If so, maybe there is a faulty common ground, maybe in the instrument cluster ?

If I recall correctly, the proper method of checking the fluid level in the transfer case is to stick your pinky finger in the fill hole and see if you can touch oil... is that right?

I would suggest draining out some of the extra fluid and see if that fixes everything. These transmissions are usually very robust. cleanest way might be to disconnect a hose at the transmission cooler input and drain into a 5 gallon bucket as the truck idles.

Mobile office. sign me up lol!

I think the point here is that these are electric Conversions of 70 series cruisers, for underground mining applications. Sounds super dope.

i've got a late 69 with a beat up OEM carb. upgrading to something newer would be nice. question 1: Do you think this would be a fit? question 2: My dizzy is working just fine. is there anything special about this dizzy? Thanks!

This is really the only mod i regret spending money on. I got this same Jegs can, and it's so over priced. the plastic cup cracked and started leaking within 3 months. I just threw it all in the trash and was like. Welp, i guess I'll clean out the manifold at the next HG change. 🤷‍♂️

I had a similar issue some years ago which ended up being a cap wire that came loose and was providing an intermittent connection. Replacing it was easy, but the unburnt and partially burnt gas ended up melting my Catalitic converter, and blew out my exhaust gaskets. Not sure if that's still...
